Book Discussion

Every Fourth Wednesday at 2pm, join us for a cup of coffee and a chat about this month's selection. The book is available at the Library. 

For July, we will be reading Intimacies by Katie Kitamura. 

Synopsis: An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York and work at the International Court. A woman of many languages and identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home. She's drawn into simmering personal dramas: her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage. Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim's sister. And she's pulled into explosive political fires: her work interpreting for a former president accused of war crimes becomes precarious as their relationship is unbound by shifting language and meaning.
